2001 was a big year for Alzheimers disease. That was the year that
researchers produced, for the first time, Alzheimers-like pathological
changes in neurons growing in a cell culture and visually photographed
the physiological process in an animal model. This finding, produced at the
University of Calgary, ties together dozens of small research projects
from a half-dozen laboratories to establish, finally, the underlying
causal mechanism for Alzheimers disease.

Steves 2009 presentation to Google employees What to do for
Grandma is supposed to be posted on the Google Tech-Talks Channel by
December 2009.

Subsequent note: Google decided not to post that Tech-Talk
presentation. However, a non-technical script for the
Top-Ten Ways to Reverse Alzheimers Disease
has been posted as a Project Wellbeing blog. Its done is a
humerous style that makes it quite accessible.

Mercury Toxicity and Alzheimers Disease
by Steven Wm. Fowkes, which summarizes the scientific findings which led to this
breakthrough and integrates them into a coherent and
scientifically referenced account of
Alzheimers disease, incorporating two decades of findings regarding
cellular energy mechanisms, thyroid and steroid hormones,
dietary mechanisms reported by independent clinicians, and apoE genotype,
with a sidebar on idiopathic dilated cardiomyopathy.
Contrary to popular belief, Alzheimer's disease is not a death sentence
and is readily addressible by simple means, many of which are suited to
a home-care setting. Despite the passage of eight years since that time,
this finding has yet to penetrate into mainstream awareness in either
the popular media or the medical research community. So do not fail
to read this groundbreaking article.

Steven Wm. Fowkes' subsequent PowerPoint presentations dealing with
many details of clinical therapy have been converted into MP4 video format
and posted on YouTube

This nine-part video series is a slightly
re-arranged version of a PowerPoint presentation delivered at the
Smart Life Forum in January 2009, which followed earlier presentations in
2004, 2005 and 2007 to the Smart Life Forum, the Foundation for Mind Being
Research and the Foresight Institutes Unconference.

Steves 2009 presentation to the Smart Life Forum was videotaped and
is available on DVD from www.smartlifeforum.org.
